"it wasn't necessary for him to shoot the unarmed intruder to defend himself or his children"

Well, it wasn't necessary for the burgler to break into his home eithr! When someone breaks into your home, the operating assumption is and should be that they are there to harm you and your family.

I wonder how the author of this article would feel if his home is invaded, while he and his family are at home.

Too bad he's in a more liberal state.

In Texas, or other states (SW area generally) with make my day laws, it isn;t a matter of whether he had to shoot the intruder.

The intruder was in his house - unauthorized -

therefore

bang - bang - bang - bang - bang - bang

unless you have a semiauto with more than 6 rounds.

Get it ?

or maybe they should have had a discussion about it ?
spoke about the intruder's childhood, all the stress in
his life, how maybe he just wasn't understood by society.
Maybe he should have had a "time-out".
